[ snorts, a little bitterly; ]

Not over the stupid shit I do.

... I'll deal. Sorry you had to-- come out here. You shouldn't've.

[stares at her for a moment

reaches for her face

smooshes her cheeks]

[stakesthesame]

[ scrunches her nose a bit, but just. lets this happen.

with the vaguely miserable expression the combination of it + squish is pretty comedic. honestly. ]

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

[squish squish]

You need to stop blaming yourself for shit.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ kinda muffled ]

S'literally my fault though.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

Will you at least believe that I came here because I wanted to?

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

... 'course I would. Doesn't mean you couldn't be-- doing something better with your time or somethin'.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

[...SQUISH]

If there was something else I'd rather be doing, I'd be doing that.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ ssssags a little... ]

Okaaay, okay...

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

[releases her]

I'm gonna stay here with you for a while. That okay?

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ huffs, slouching. ]

... okay. If you want.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

Naw, I'm totally being held against my will.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

I wasn't... doing anything exciting or anything, just. Warning you.

S'boring.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

Like I can't handle boring.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ ... huffs, taking a few steps back to sit in on the bench again. ]

Well... thanks.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

[sitting next to her]

No problem.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ ... sags against him, after a moment. ]

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

[wraps an arm around her shoulders]

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ quiet for a long time, just staring at the ground. ]

...

I miss them.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

Me too. All of them.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ ... quietly, a little bitter, but mostly just. sad: ]

If-- Pharaoh was here-- he would have straightened everyone out.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

Maybe. Or he would've missed it because he was too busy sitting on his throne.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ -- huffs a little laugh. ]

... yeah. Maybe.

He still owes us a throne room.

Re: 243, later

[avestan]

He does.

[chuckles]

Man, he's gonna be so mad when he comes back.

Re: 243, later

[stakesthesame]

[ "he's not coming back" she does not say, but the moment of silence probably says as much. but at length she speaks again, ]

Yeah? Why?
